Ubuntu and whatnot are dandy desktop OSes.
For servers?
Cent OS is fine, just fine.
Package management seems to be pretty much 6 of one, half dozen of another.
I like BSDs ports, truth be told.
Well, *real* truth be told, I like them all.
And really really, I like compiling the crap and whatn
apt-get did it for me. It's just elegant and it works. Nothing against
rpm's, but the debian package system is just superior for standard
installation and maintenance. And if you need tweaks, there is always
make.

I used to like Red Hat (back when it was free) and then Fedora ... until I
used Ubuntu. I've installed CentOS a couple of times and it just doesn't
stack up to Ubuntu, IMHO. I've definitely become a fan of the Debian flavors
of Linux over the RH flavors.

Come to find out, it's extremely hard to get Virtual Iron's tools to
compile on Ubuntu (my favorite distro). They suggest RHEL, SuSE or
CentOS. So CentOS it is because of the price :)
I'm used to installing ubuntu from the livecd. CentOS doesn't do
that. You've either got to download
